Kingspan to Reduce Waste to Landfill by 50 Percent by the End of 2021
Kingspan Insulated Panels North America announces it is on pace for a 50% reduction in waste sent to landfills by the end of the year for its five manufacturing sites in North America. As part of the company’s global Planet Passionate program, the goal is to eliminate waste to landfills entirely by 2030.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris were generated in 2018, more than twice the amount of generated municipal solid waste. Diverting waste from landfills improves recycling, cuts down on the environmental impact of additional landfill and waste facilities and conserves landfill space.
